I live on the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, working in education, and always down for exploring the beautiful blue beaches of the DR. Grew up in small town Ohio, learned about the world via amazing international friends at college, and now I'm trying to see it for myself. I've lived in the DR for three years and love it!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to show people the lesser explored southern coast of the DR, get to know new parts and people of this beautiful crazy island, and connect with other adventurous people who love to travel.
Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Slept on a houseboat in the Sundarbans National Park in India to try to see a Royal Bengal Tiger.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to learn, whether it's a unique skill or just by good conversation! I can talk/debate for hours about politics, history. I can show you some new dishes because I love to eat, but I also love to learn new foods and recipes.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I'm always open for anything and I would love to learn about your life, your community, where you've been, and where you want to go!
